Hrm, well, version 3.7.0-1 is much smaller: $ ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/libaqbanking-data_3.7.0-1_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2824486 2008-08-15 07:02 /var/cache/apt/archives/libaqbanking-data_3.7.0-1_all.deb > > The problem is not the cost, but the fact is that one cannot change > the disk and/or reinstall may be risky (e.g. old laptops which is my > case for the moment, but also handhelds, where disk space is always > limited).

Can you give me a specific usage case, of a user who is using the gnome desktop, with its huge size, for which that extra storage is the problem? When you say "other packages" it sounds as if you are on a crusade to make Debian support very old hardware just as if it were brand new. I'm sure you can understand that this is a low priority.
